Arby’s Canada introduces new Poutine Dip Sandwich

Arby’s Canada are you trying to seduce me with your new Poutine Dip Sandwich? Because if you are, you got me sold. Poutine on a sandwich, how scandalous of you. You have succeeded, I will pry my money from my wallet.

The Poutine Dip features thinly sliced, oven-roasted beef served on a toasted sub roll, topped with curly fries, cheese curds, and beef gravy. Each sandwich is also served with a side of beef gravy for dipping.

The name “poutine” as we know it today appeared only when large restaurant chains started selling that product. This name is probably due to the fact that other dishes made of potatoes are also called poutine, and it could also be derived from the English word “pudding.” In the United States, some restaurants in New York and New Jersey propose their own mix of fries, gravy and cheese, called « Disco Fries ».
